Jealous

To watch her with another
The hurt, the pain, the thrust 

Beauty eluding my fondle 
Gorgeousness I can only behold but always let go 

I want this but can't own it
I deserve it but selfish it sounds

What will you do to have a joy illegal?
To defile the voice of norm
For the warmth, for the knowledge 
To carefreely live against order
